12/25/24 This episode explores the duality of Christmas through the lens of Krampus, merging horror and holiday spirit. Laura and Esme review the 2015 film "Krampus," discussing its folklore origins, family dynamics, and the significance of maintaining the spirit of Christmas. They also highlight a true scary story shared by a guest, which reflects the influence of fear during childhood, resonating with themes of Krampus.

We welcome special guest Bruce Villarreal, who shares haunting tales from his childhood involving cartoon-like entities, urging us to reconsider the intelligence and creativity of a child's mind. These early encounters with the supernatural remind us of the importance of acknowledging and validating such experiences, drawing fascinating parallels between the fiction of "Krampus" and real-life paranormal tales.

12/13/24 Esme and Laura review The Substance movie.

All the spoilers! Then for dessert, Esme re-tells a friend's very chilling encounter with a seemingly mythical being..? demon..? interdimensional entity? that they were sure they imagined... except they had their child with them that was there to remind them about every single detail of what they both saw really happened!

Esme and Laura talk to Fernando Valdez, their guest for this special full true horror story episode where he talks about how growing up in Mexico, and his teenage years in Juchipila where he was introduced to a book of dark magic and the Ouija board by his friends. From ouija sessions in the cemetery to seeing orbs of light, to hearing voices in his head, to experiencing entities in dreams and in real life. He didn't realize then how he was being pulled one way by religion and the other by the occult and almost as he felt tied to both. His experience takes a scary turn especially when the hauntings seem to have followed him as an adult to California, US and he sees the experience from a different perspective then being a husband and father! Fernie shares details and thoughts about his experience that will be sure to leave you feeling creepy!
